So so many SB winning teams are all about being greater than the sum of their parts. Having contributors right across the field and into the benches. Then tacking in just a couple of elevating players.
I love the spread of contributions. I don't need one guy with 5 sacks, if five guys can get a sack. I don't need a TE in the endzone when 3 WRs are there catching TDs.
Right now we're on the right path. No need to change scheme or force throws or increase snaps just because. Stick to plan! It's a tried and tested path to success, with just either one or two more key additions, or one or two more players finding a little more in what they are already doing.
One thing I would add to the Seahawks special teams discussion and stellar performers, — D’Anthony Bell is a heck of a special teamer if he stays on the 53. He led the Browns in special teams snaps in 2024, and looked mighty good vs the Saints last week.
No worries. The Hawks really do have a great group of players among the backups who are very good special teamers. Desire and effort play a bigger role in special teams play than in many offensive or defensive positions. Especially with a ‘great’ special teams coach telling you what your role is on the coverage or return team. The Seahawks seem to make sure those players feel valued for giving their all out there.
He's worthy. He's been good this season and what's better, he is very close to having even better numbers. This relationship with Kubiak is very exciting.
Why fix what's not broken? To move off default, my bet is we see reserve strategies involving our TE's, starting with Barner. Arroyo's blocking is an issue as we try to set the running game, so Saubert will probably be on the field already and be a solid option for Sam under pressure (spelled 'Bradford'). Horton may be assigned DK's decoy duties, but I won't be surprised to see him breaking free consistently, becoming an obvious target. Another reason to wander off default will be what is needed against Tampa Bay in 2 weeks? We just sent the Saints into Rebuild Mode but I expect the Cards will be in pissed-off Spoiler Mode. Our big TEs would be best to face those assaults, which Ouzts won't want to miss.
I see Kupp having a big game. But there’s room for others. I think this is the week Darnold goes over 300 yards passing. (And Walker has over 100 rushing with one long explosive run of 50+.

After I posted I says to myself, I says..."Damn I forgot to mention Bell!"

My not so humble opinion is for Darnold to go over 300 yards this week!
If you could only pick one of these players to see more targets in Week 4, who would you pick: Cooper Kupp, Tory Horton, Elijah Arroyo, or AJ Barner?
Horton.

I’d like to see more of Horton. He would also take pressure off JSN & Kupp if he became more of a threat.
Kupp. Make him a bigger threat in the offense to take pressure off of JSN.
Great minds think alike.
Elijah Arroyo, bc we need him to develop fast.
